It is possible that two giant Rafeteus swinhoei turtles live in Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem (Sword) Lake and not just one as thought earlier, a local official said.
Nguyen Ngoc Khoi, general director of KAT, the agency entrusted with capturing the one animal thought to live in the lake for medical treatment, told Tuoi Tre Monday that workers had seen two of them surfacing at different places – one in the Ngoc Son Temple area and the other along Dinh Tien Hoang Street.
“We will continue to look out for the second turtle, and will capture it if possible,” he said.
Earlier, on Sunday, soldiers from Hanoi’s special forces, who worked alongside KAT workers, managed to trap the animal which suffers from a number of injuries on its shell, legs, and neck.
However, the injuries are not as bad as thought after seeing photos, the rescue team said.
